vpn clients / cable modems

[prw at prwdot.org (Peter R. Wood)]

My employer uses a Intel VPN solution (previously owned by Shiva).

I have AT&T Broadband (MediaOne) at home, and I am able to connect to my
work VPN without any problems. I have never tried to obtain any support for
it from AT&T, but then again I've never really needed any since it works
just fine.
